Rumblin'

Over the weekend I participated in the 2008 Rails Rumble. The rules are simple: Build a webapp in 48 hours. 200 teams of up to 4 developers compete on building the best, most innovative, most cool and most kick-ass application.
Team cphftw where founded by members of the Copenhagen Ruby Brigade. We were supposed to be 3 guys on the team, but one got hit by the flu the day before the whole thing started, leaving it all up to Jakob Skjerning and myself.
During the last week we did a lot of brainstorming, planning, feature lists, usecases, todolists and we even tried to decide on how the database should be structured, but with a bit more rumble experience there were several other things we could have prepared beforehand.
Jakob has documented the progress made over the weekend on his blog.

After 48 hours I can now proudly present to you: Quotagious - The ultimate way of storing, sharing, and finding interesting quotes.
Voting should be possible within the next few days. If you like what we did, feel free to give us your vote.
Well, competition is tough and there are several good bids. There is no official list of applications available yet, but here is a partial collection.
